I tried the PAM authenticate version of checklogin.pl with no joy, and I tried running neomail as suid root still with no joy. Same error. It worked fine on my old linux box! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Jonathan Miller Sent: 04 February 2003 19:07 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Neomail-users] Incorrect password What are the permissions of /etc/shadow? Unless it is group owned by "mail" (a bad thing) or you configure neomail to run as "suid root" (bad, but not quite as bad) you'll see it continue to fail. IIRC, there is a replacement checklogin.pl script that supports PAM (pluggable authentication module) that may work for your configuration. This would be the graceful way to do it. Hopefully someone else on this list can point you to it.
